Mel hints at another film

[winterbadger]

Mel Gibson looks set to provoke further antipathy among the Jewish community with plans to make a film about the story behind the festival of Hanukkah.

The Jewish festival of Hanukkah celebrates the Maccabees' victory against Greek king Antiochus IV, 165 years before Jesus was born.

"The Maccabees' family stood up and made war," said Gibson, speaking on a US chat show last week.

"They stuck by their guns and they came out winning. It's like a Western."

Mel making a film about a gang of bloody-minded, intolerant, murdering zealots? Sounds like a match made in heaven.

I liked the review that compared Passion to a gay BDSM film.
Hey! Actually *nailing* someone to something is not safe, sane, or, oh, well, I guess in this case it *was* consensual... :-/
